Fishing net modeling

[willipop]

everything is different

If you are doing it for accurate technical construction drawing I can understand that, but if it's for rendering then make it from repeat sections.

here's a link for the sketchup file : I really like the way the net is shaped

ERROR: The request could not be satisfied

I don't have a computer that will cope with it at the moment.

It's the 7meg file, without the edges in solid tube!

Personally to me the difference from one side to the other is so small that I would make them symmetrical.
You would reduce the file size enormously.

[willipop]

once the file is open, I can easly navigate in it. I now have to find a nice way to render

[Box]

Ah well, I can't help you much there, my only rendering experience is with Twilight.

[willipop]

I will test to export the shadows from sketchup and tweak it with photoshop

[Box]

Oli will probably pop back soon, he knows far more about rendering than me.

I never learned a software that fast. Thx to all of you guys, I really appreciate ! I will subscribe to premium member ^_^

It's worth pointing out that components can be scaled and and modified and still be instances of the same component.
As you can see in this image I have used one component in three places, I used Fredoscale to scale and shear them to fit in the required spaces, I didn't bother to be too accurate as it's only an example.
It's a bit more work in some ways to pull them into shape, but it's means less tube making. So if you were to fit 10 nets this way you only have to make one set of tubes to get 10 full nets.

Something to keep in mind for the future.
